The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed as inadmissible the referral for a preliminary ruling initiated by the Bucharest County Court, leaving the lower instance decision to proceed without a binding interpretation from the Supreme bench. The dispute concerned whether a specific period of parental leave, utilized for a child under two years of age prior to the entry into force of Government Emergency Ordinance No. 124/2011 (as amended by Law No. 166/2012), could be legally assimilated to seniority in a specialized role for the purposes of social assistance benefits. The decisive legal basis for the dismissal rests on the admissibility criteria for preliminary rulings under Article 521(3) of the Code of Civil Procedure, which the Court determined were not met for the referred question regarding the retroactive application or interpretation of the legislative amendments to the social assistance regime.
